'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}.  
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}.


Charizard is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{en|Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] boxarts.
Charizard has three forms: '''Mega Charizard X''', '''Mega Charizard Y''', and '''Gigantamax Charizard'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X using the [[Charizardite X]] and Mega Charizard Y using the [[Charizardite Y]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Charizard if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.


==Biology==
Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed}}, appearing on the boxart of both games.
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolutions, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its pre-evolutions, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its {{type2|Fire}} attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Charizard is a very {{t|dragon}}-like Pokémon. Like its previous forms, it has a long tail with a fire burning at the tip. The front of its two wings is blue, while the back is orange like the most of its body. Although hardly visible, Charizard's iris is light blue in color. Its belly and the undersides of its feet are cream-colored. 
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
Along with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Talonflame}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Charizard is one of the four [[First partner Pokémon|partner Pokémon]]  available through the Unite Licenses in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as of version 1.12.1.2.
As a {{type2|Fire}} {{pkmn2|starter}}, Charizard has the ability to learn {{m|Blast Burn}}.  


Because of the wings it has grown upon evolution, Charizard can {{m|fly}} and can use many other {{type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves. It also has access to {{type2|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{m|DragonBreath}}.
==Biology==
[[File:Professor Oak Lecture EP161.png|200px|thumb|left|Charizard's tail flame burning blue after Professor Oak accidentally steps on its tail]]
Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In [[Pokémon Red and Green]], Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses [[Fire Punch]]. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.  


Since Charizard is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including {{p|Charmander}}. In [[Pokémon Snap]], it's shown that Charizard are fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters.  


===Behavior===
Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath can melt boulders and massive glaciers and has been known to cause forest fires accidentally. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. The ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'' showed that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. The side story episode ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'' showed that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard's wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters), but [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] notes that its droppings were found on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}}, implying it could fly thrice as high. In [[Pokémon Sleep]], as well as media like the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Charizard is known to sleep in an incredibly relaxed position, <ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> as it is very confident in its power. Some Charizard are occasionally seen sleeping flat on their backs, which is potentially a sign that those Charizard are especially strong.
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe unless provoked or commanded. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires with its tail-flame. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are. Charizard has been depicted in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'' to repeatedly lick the people and Pokémon it is fond of, in a similar manner to a dog.


===Habitat===
Even though Charizard originally couldn't learn the move {{m|Fly}}, Trainers have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the 1997 [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards|Carddass Trading Cards]]. {{Ash}} himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the [[S02|second season]] of the [[original series]] of ''Pokémon the Series''. Eventually, in {{game|Yellow}}, Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In [[Alola]], Charizard is a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Charizard Glide, being used by the natives to fly around the region or make deliveries.  
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.


===Diet===
<gallery>
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Charizard Glide VII OD.png|Charizard Glide
</gallery>


Its fierce appearance and disposition may suggest that it is mostly carnivorous, but like most Pokémon, it can subsist on the typical omnivorous diet most Pokémon share.
===Forms===
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork.png|left|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard has three alternate forms: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and [[Gigantamax]] Charizard.  


==In the anime==
Both of Charizard's [[Mega Evolution]]s feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.
[[Image:Ash's Charizard furious.png|thumb|right|210px|[[Ash's Charizard]]]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Charizard]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in  ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.


====Other====
;Mega Charizard X
Charizard first appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', however it was a fake mechanical robot.
As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently. It is said that its new power turns it black and creates more intense flames.
[[image:Charizardfirespin.png‎|200px|thumb|Charizard in the anime.]]
When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.


In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.
;Mega Charizard Y
As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than that of a jet fighter.


[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Charizard|a Charizard]] and an {{p|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting Charizard and James getting Aggron. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

==In the manga==
;Gigantamax
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], one of {{adv|Blue}}'s main Pokémon is [[Blue's Charizard|a Charizard]], evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} storyline.
[[File:Leon Charizard G-Max Wildfire.png|thumb|left|220px|Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body]]
As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and more physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white, with several yellow diamonds on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on its hands and feet become longer and sharper. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it, like the clouds most other Gigantamax Pokémon have. Two flames sprout from its horns, and its wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade.


In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].
Due to being enhanced by Gigantamax energy, the fire within Charizard's body has become much stronger, burning hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and continuing to rise in temperature when Gigantamax Charizard roars. When using its [[Signature move|signature]] [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, it launches its colossal fiery wings in the shape of a bird, which circles opponents while continuously scorching them with flames even hotter than magma.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>


In [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he received from Professor Oak.
===Evolution===
Charizard evolves from {{p|Charmeleon}} and is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}.


==In the TCG==
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and rereleased in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny {{P|Charmander}}.  Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds.  The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.
</div>
 
====Brawl trophy information====
A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, {{m|Flamethrower}}, is a reliable technique.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Charizard]]=====
{{Ash}} has a Charizard that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''. He evolved from Charmeleon in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to fight against an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Unfortunately, Charizard [[Obedience|disobeyed]] Ash's orders until ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
 
Charizard also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it previously belonged to [[Cross]] and evolved from Charmander after defeating a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in {{pkmn|battle}} and later evolved into Charizard while battling Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. Unlike its ''Pokémon the Series'' counterpart, this Charizard never had obedience issues.
 
=====[[Charla]]=====
{{jo|Liza}} of the [[Charicific Valley]] owns her own Charizard, [[nickname]]d Charla, which first appeared in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]''. She apparently has a romantic relationship with Ash's Charizard after he became her bodyguard.
 
=====[[Team A.C.T.]]=====
A Charizard was a member of [[Team A.C.T.]], who was considered for the job of rescuing Big Brother {{p|Pikachu}} in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. They were, however, occupied on another mission.
 
=====[[Alain's Charizard]]=====
[[Alain]] owns a Charizard that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. It is his ace Pokémon and first appeared in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''.
 
=====[[Trevor's Charizard]]=====

=====[[Kiawe's Charizard]]=====
{{an|Kiawe}} owns a Charizard that was given to him by [[Kiawe's grandfather|his grandfather]]. He often uses it as his personal [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]]. It first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.
 
=====[[Leon's Charizard]]=====
In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s Charizard battled {{an|Lance}}'s {{TP|Lance|Gyarados}} during the [[World Coronation Series]] finals and won. It since made further appearances in {{aniseries|JN}}. Charizard is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing.
 
=====[[Friede's Charizard]]=====

=====Other=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Charizard participated in the battle between the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon, battling {{Ash}}'s Charizard and winning easily. Unlike much of its brethren, Charizard wasn't cloned from Ash's Charizard and it had the same marks that Charmandertwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} through different means than the ones used to clone the Trainers' captured Pokémon. Charizard reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
 
In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', [[Jessie]] borrowed a Charizard from the {{jo|Battle Park}} and was used in a battle against Ash and his {{AP|Totodile}} as part of an elaborate plan to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Charizard defeated Grovyle but then lost to Glalie.
 
In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave Jessie and [[James]] a Charizard and an {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting Charizard and James getting Aggron. However, they were recalled at the end of the episode as they were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]]. However, it was unable to do so in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}.

Wattrel!!]]''.


===Origin===
===Merchandise===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends. Charizard's prominence as a dragon without being of the {{type2|Dragon}} is further reinforced in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, where one makes a cameo as one of four prominently featured {{wp|classical element|patron elemental}} dragon Pokémon.
[[File:Charizard Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Charizard in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Charizard appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square backwards.
* Charizard was the focus of a [[Charizard Pokémon Center promotion (2010)|Pokémon Center promotion]] in April 2010.


The other three Pokémon sharing this distinguishing trait are legitimate Dragon-type Pokémon; {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, and {{p|Flygon}}. The patronage of these four dragons is inspired from the four {{wp|classical element}}s; {{wp|Air (classical element)|Air}}, {{wp|Water (classical element)|Water}}, {{wp|Earth (classical element)|Earth}}, and {{wp|Fire (classical element)|Fire}}, with Charizard being the representative of Fire.
===Cultural impact===
* Charizard was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Chilicola charizard'', a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref><ref>(June 1, 2016). "[https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/844107 One of 8 new endemic polyester bees from Chile bears the name of a draconic Pokemon]." ''EurekAlert!''. Pensoft Publishers.</ref>


It shares some evolutionary traits with Charmeleon in its distinctive horns; also a distinct trait in some dragons.
===Concept and development===
Charizard, its pre-evolved forms, and Mega Charizard X were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>
 
===Origin===
Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a portmanteau of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix meaning tooth that is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.
Charizard may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.
 
Lizardon may be a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Charizard (Japanese: リザードン Lizardon) is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Charmeleon starting at level 36. It is the final form of Charmander.

Charizard has three forms: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Gigantamax Charizard. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X using the Charizardite X and Mega Charizard Y using the Charizardite Y, and can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Charizard if it has the Gigantamax Factor.

Charizard is the game mascot of Pokémon Red and its remake Pokémon FireRed, appearing on the boxart of both games.

Along with Pikachu, Talonflame, and Decidueye, Charizard is one of the four partner Pokémon available through the Unite Licenses in Pokémon UNITE as of version 1.12.1.2.

Biology

Charizard's tail flame burning blue after Professor Oak accidentally steps on its tail

Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In Pokémon Red and Green, Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses Fire Punch. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its plantigrade feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.

Charizard typically inhabits mountains and valleys, such as the Charicific Valley in Johto. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including Charmander. In Pokémon Snap, it's shown that Charizard are fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters.

Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath can melt boulders and massive glaciers and has been known to cause forest fires accidentally. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. The Pokémon the Series episode Charizard's Burning Ambitions showed that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. The side story episode Those Darn Electabuzz! showed that Charizard can swim underwater, with Pokémon Origins further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard's wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters), but An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS notes that its droppings were found on Mt. Fuji, implying it could fly thrice as high. In Pokémon Sleep, as well as media like the animated series, Charizard is known to sleep in an incredibly relaxed position, [1] as it is very confident in its power. Some Charizard are occasionally seen sleeping flat on their backs, which is potentially a sign that those Charizard are especially strong.

Even though Charizard originally couldn't learn the move Fly, Trainers have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the 1997 Carddass Trading Cards. Ash himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the second season of the original series of Pokémon the Series. Eventually, in Pokémon Yellow, Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In Alola, Charizard is a Ride Pokémon called Charizard Glide, being used by the natives to fly around the region or make deliveries.

Forms

Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.

Charizard has three alternate forms: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Gigantamax Charizard.

Both of Charizard's Mega Evolutions feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

Mega Charizard X

As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently. It is said that its new power turns it black and creates more intense flames.

Mega Charizard Y

As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer digitigrade feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than that of a jet fighter.

Gigantamax
Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body

As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and more physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white, with several yellow diamonds on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on its hands and feet become longer and sharper. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it, like the clouds most other Gigantamax Pokémon have. Two flames sprout from its horns, and its wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade.

Due to being enhanced by Gigantamax energy, the fire within Charizard's body has become much stronger, burning hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and continuing to rise in temperature when Gigantamax Charizard roars. When using its signature G-Max Move, G-Max Wildfire, it launches its colossal fiery wings in the shape of a bird, which circles opponents while continuously scorching them with flames even hotter than magma.[2]

In the TCG

Main article: Charizard (TCG)

Charizard's first-released TCG card, which as part of the Base Set, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to Fire Energy. Fire Spin needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in Wizards of the Coast's Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection sets, and released again with updated artwork in the Stormfront expansion.

Cultural impact

  • Charizard was the inspiration for the naming of Chilicola charizard, a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.[4][5]

Concept and development

Charizard, its pre-evolved forms, and Mega Charizard X were designed by Atsuko Nishida.[6][7]

Origin

Charizard may be based on European dragons, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in European folklore; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the Fire/Dragon typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical salamander. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.

Name origin

Charizard may be a combination of char (to burn) and lizard.

Lizardon may be a combination of lizard and either dragon or -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
